(4) YA Frances's mother, Afton Jelks, is institutionalized after killing Frances's three sisters. Following eleven years of silence, Afton contacts Frances, who embarks on a cross-country road trip with her new boyfriend to come to terms with her past. The two strands--budding romance and nightmarish psychological exhumation--coexist more than interact but achieve overall success with idiosyncratic characters and addictive suspense.
